this coffee shop outside we met
the odds were slim but I took the bet
warm night air fills our lungs
we climbed up catwalks with no rungs

and we chilled and smoked
we ranted and chanted
down warm streets in night air

the stars aligned and we followed our
hearts there that coffee stained air
smoking dim light hangs without a care

and we chilled and we smoked
we ranted and chanted
down warm streets in night air

driving down driving up it's all the same
in this town
those g's don't feel the same here

I saw the sign and it said
keep moving...
that way

Why does the state look like it's pointing
westward and onward
Don't stop here it says

The kids here are just like the kids there
some of them screaming some laughing
but we still don't know what the fuck is going on

That small town drama
i miss my momma
kind of whining and bitching all the damn time

Grow up...
Open your fucking eyes...
See outside your fishbowl

I bleed music from my eye-balls
walking through concert halls
puking vodka in bathroom stalls

I sing like the quickness of a razor blade
darker than a night in moonless shade
I'm so punk I'll never get paid

I have a battle to the death with clenched fists
I don't have tits to get on those guest lists
when it's all over i'm in the bathroom with slit wrists

remember it's down the stream not across the bridge

'it looks like you're bleeding' oh it's just a little scratch
do you think on your way out you could shut the latch
I'm just saving myself from all the failures I'll hatch

it's fine, drink your wine, avoid the sign, do this line,
do this, do that, do yourself a favor
enjoy...
life's too short for just one flavor.

Resting up tonight for our invasion of Oklahoma. Taking some digital pictures tonight. Hopefully have some of them up on either carls site or my bros.

Feeling the brain freeze
like a cock teese
downtown around the block sleaze

come around in the afternoon
if it's before 3 then you're too soon
I'll be snoozin to an ambient tune
walking on a sand dune

sunspot facial features
six legged skeeter creatures
I woke up in the bleachers

of my high school
on my shoulder drool
everyone staring at this fool

I saw my first show at Bogarts over the weekend. We saw Damien Rice and THe Frames. Damien blew my face of with his music. He started off slow and then set the house on fire. It was delicious.

i am a visitor here
i am not permanent
the only thing keeping me dry is
the wetness of dreams

just the term "life after death" is so laughable and ridiculous. I've already been dead. It was black and silent and boring. Life has a lot of colors and I want to see them all.

There are so many things I want to share with you.

damn damn damn...

I'm worn out from adventure after adventure. Can't stop here this is bat country type shit. Sleep deprivation has kicked in and I realized about an hour ago that I had not eaten in like 30 hours. I'm trying to figure out where to start but I don't remember.

We saw John Kerry speak today and he had the normal Democratic election year topics to discuss, and for sure there was some Bush bashing going on. He did say that by 2020 he wants 20% of the nations energy use to come from alternative sources which I thought was very important. He said that during the Kennedy years america was able to win the moon race because the people were behind it. Reaching the goal of 20% of our energy not being oil should be easy compared to that. He seemed sincere and he said that he wants to help people be more involved in government so that our Democracy can actually live up to the name and the idea.

After the speach Graham and I skated and I landed my first wall-ride. It was sweet! We played around at the park and played some soccer.

I met Lauren's Godfather who is a music promoter. He's worked for several different record labels and got to hang out with acts like The Breeders, Radiohead, Luscious Jackson, John Lee Hooker, B.B. King, I can't even remember most of them. He had a whole wall of Platinum Records that had been given to him for his work. We hung out and I got to play this super amazing Gibson Les Paul that he found after a flood! He found this fucking guitar. He called Gibson to check the numbers on it to find out where it came from and they don't know. I told him about what Deric has been doing in Muncie and I told him to check out Wooden Man Records which you should to!

I'm cracked out with covers blocking the sun out
I've been here before but i ran for the door
hoping to get away from my mental perversion

grasping rasping I need a smoke
i bow my head as they take another toke
my skies are blue today and partly cloudy
